A painful defeat for morale, the fourth in a row, less so for the standings, the one suffered at the PalaSerradimigni against Venezia: 96-97 . Apart from Cremona who won the direct clash with Napoli, the others all lost. Dinamo is therefore +2 from the trio Scafati, Varese and Cremona and +4 from Napoli and Pistoia.
Of course, the regret is that the victory over Reyer would have brought the gap from the relegation zone to +6, but now Banco, understood as a team and club, must think in terms of a tough fight to stay in Serie A. The fans have understood this for a couple of months now.
Without going back to the last action with the strange decision on the +1 to throw in on offense instead of from the back to have more spacing between the players and try to “die” with the ball in hand, we must remember a series of errors in the last minutes: two balls lost by the point guard Bibbins, in one he even let the 24 seconds expire; the foul on offense and the hasty shot with block by Sokolowski; the wrong pass by Thomas to the point guard Cappelletti who however could have gone to get the ball instead of having it brought to the big man. Then there are two or three soft defenses. In short, all details that could have made the difference .
Coach Bulleri must understand how much he can work on these details and how much he needs to have players with greater mental clarity in the point-to-point finals. There are nine games left and there could be more sprint finals .
